Alter Natives

The 'official' Alter Natives site. Under Construction. These recordings are from the last Unreleased Album by the Alter Natives circa 1991 I believe. The sound quality on the unreleased album songs is just OK - SO TURN IT UP LOUD as these recordings were re found on an audio tape that had been a recording from a CD - the master tapes are currently un remastered- but overall you can get a decent jist of what the music was about from these recordings. I will be working with Chris and Jim to further update the site with photos and art and other records as this is a work in progressBand started in 1986 -1987 in Richmond Virginia around Virginia Commonwealth Univerisity (VCU). Was 'discovered' by Greg Ginn on a Black Flag tour by listening to the bands first self released demo tape recorded at Island Studios in Richmond VA. Went on to record several albums for the mighty SST Records in the late 80's Early 90's. Meahwhile members also had a dual identity for awhile as GWAR as both bands formed and jammed in the old Milk Bottle Factory, a haven for art, philosopy and music (although pretty creepy at times also :) - before it was renovated and yuppified that is.Update - just added some new songs from our album 'Buzz' - hope you enjoy!More to come soon!
